St Mary’s Gate is an historic street in the Lace Market area of Nottingham City Centre between High Pavement and Warser Gate.
History[edit]
The early name for the street was Seynt Maregate (Latin: Via Beatae Mariae),[1] taking its name from St Mary's Church which is at the southern end. In the late Middle Ages the street housed workshops for the production of Nottingham alabaster.
The street housed the old Theatre Royal which was built in 1760 on the site of an older establishment.[2] It was held on lease for many years by Robertson and Manly, managers of a company of comedians who visited Nottingham three or four times per year. The theatre was sold in 1854 to J.F. Saville[3] for £1,950 (equivalent to £168,000 in 2016).[4] The theatre was converted by Richard Middleton into Middleton’s Royal Alhambra Music Hall in 1865, when the new Theatre Royal was opened in Parliament Street. In 1880 the owner of the Royal Alhambra Music Hall, John Betts Wigley was charged with assaulting and beating a comedian William White.[5] The Music Hall closed in 1883 when the Nottingham Magistrates’ refused a theatrical licence.[6]
